Either I can't do anything with the washing machine and get told I can't upgrade because it has laundry inside. Or I can put laundry in the machine and get every option other than wash it. Or I can't put laundry in the machine because it's "in use" even though I just emptied it. And quite often my laundry ends in a state where the dryer says it's dry, but it's wet if I take it out of the dryer.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to wash the laundry
I have every version of the laundry related bugs on this forum just depends on which day I play how bad it is, but it's completely random.
And that's on top of the broken animations, floating laundry bags, hampers that keep triggering "filthy environment" after being emptied, and the game constantly failing to find the washing machine because the pathing system doesn't understand stairs.

Guys this has been either a bug or glitch when LDSP came out, saving and quiting and going off lot resets the washer and dryers, meaning the laudry is frozen at current state. If washer and dry or stacked on top of each other with washer on bottom and the drier is empty when you save and return to the game later if the washer is running your find the wet cloth in the dryer, remove the wet cloth from the dryer to clean the washer machine, if that don't work take the machines and put them in your household inventory and save and put them back in the proper spot and they will function normally again. Please Note: when using the washing bucket and clothline the weather and season could have a negative effect on your drying ability, or positive effect on your drying ability. Sunny days cloth dry alot faster, especially in the extreme heat of the Summer. Cloudy and cooler days slower the drying of cloth outside on clothlines. Rain Snow and Thunderstorms stop cloth from drying on clothlines. If though ever get stuck take them to your household inventory and save and put them back and they will work again.
Note: You must put the washer and dryer in your household inventory to make them useable again after every patch and pack update and take them out again.

@Sid1701d9 That certain doesn't work for me, but it might be a work around for some.
Doesn't solve the bug though...we gotta keep pushing....

This has just started happening to me too - on PS4. Worked fine before but since yesterday I can’t wash dirty clothes. They show as clean in the washer and dirty outside.

I've recently got this issue but with washing lines, they are unclickable which is a nightmare. My sims also cant wash clothes in the bucket thing.
